___ RISK OF EXPLOS,ON OR FiRE
What can happen
• Itis normal for electrical contacts
within the motor and pressure
switch to spark.
Ifelectrical sparks from compressor
come into contact with flammable
vapors, they may ignite, causing fire
or explosion.
How to prevent it
•Always operate the compressor in a
well ventilated area free of combus-
tible materials, gasoline, or solvent
vapors.
•If spraying flammable materials,
locate compressor at least 20 feet
(6.1 m) away from spray area. An
additional length of air hose may be
required.
•Store flammable materials in a
secure location away from com-
pressor.
•Never place objects against or on
top of compressor.
•Operate compressor in an open
area at least 12" (30.5 cm) away
from any wall or obstruction that
would restrict the flow of fresh air to
the ventilation openings.
• Operate compressor in a clean, dry
well ventilated area. Do not operate
unit indoors or in any confined area.
•Always remain in attendance with
the product when it is operating.
•Always turn off and unplug unit
when not in use.
Restricting any of the compressor
ventilation openings will cause seri-
ous overheating and could cause
fire.
Unattended operation of this prod-
uct could result in personal injury
or property damage. To reduce the
risk of fire, do not allow the com-
pressor to operate unattended.

__ RISK OF BURSTING
Air Tank: The air tank on your Air Compressor is designed and may be UM coded
[for units with air tanks greater than 6" (152.4 mm) diameter] according to ASME
Section VIII, Div. 1 rules. All pressure vessels should be inspected once every two
years. Tofind your state pressure vessels inspector, look under the Division of Labor
and Industries in the government section of a phone book.
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank, and result in a
violent air tank explosion:

Attachments & accessories:
Exceeding the pressure rating of
air tools, spray guns, air operated
accessories, tires, and other inflata-
bles can cause them to explode or
fly apart, and could result in serious
injury.
Tires:
Over inflation of tires could result in
serious injury and property damage.
Follow the equipment manufactur-
ers recommendation and never
exceed the maximum allowable
pressure rating of attachments.
Never use compressor to inflate
small low pressure objects such as
children's toys, footballs, basket-
balls, etc.
Use a tire pressure gauge to check
the tires pressure before each use
and while inflating tires; see the tire
sidewall for the correct tire pressure.
NOTE: Air tanks, compressors and simi-
lar equipment used to inflate tires can fill
small tires similar to these very rapidly.
Adjust pressure regulator on air supply to
no more than the rating of the tire pres-
sure. Add air in small increments and
frequently use the tire gauge to prevent
over inflation.

personnel can result in serious
injury or death by electrocution.
•Electrical Grounding: Failure to
provide adequate grounding to
this product could result in serious
injury or death from electrocution.
Refer to "Grounding Instructions"
paragraph in the Installation
section.
Any electrical wiring or repairs
required on this product should be
performed by authorized service
center personnel in accordance with

Make certain that the electrical
circuit to which the compressor
is connected provides proper
electrical grounding, correct voltage
and adequate fuse protection.
__ RISK FROM FLYING OBJECTS
Now to prevent it
• = Always wear certified safety equip-
ment: ANSI Z87.1 eye protection
(CAN/CSA Z94.3) with side shields

Never point any nozzle or sprayer
toward any part of the body or at
other people or animals.
Always turn the compressor off
and bleed pressure from the air
hose and air tank before attempt-
ing maintenance, attaching tools or
accessories.

RISKOFNOTSURFACES
What can happen
The compressed air stream can
cause soft tissue damage to
exposed skin and can propel dirt,
chips, loose particles, and small
objects at high speed, resulting in
property damage or personal injury.
What can happen
Touching exposed metal such as
the compressor head, engine head,
engine exhaust or outlet tubes, can
result in serious burns.
Now to prevent it
Never touch any exposed metal
parts on compressor during or
immediately after operation.
Compressor will remain hot for
several minutes after operation.
Do not reach around protective
shrouds or attempt maintenance
until unit has been allowed to cool.

What can happen
Moving parts such as the pulley, fly-
wheel, and belt can cause serious
injuw if they come into contact with
you or your clothing.
Now to prevent it
Never operate the compressor with
guards or covers which are dam-
aged or removed.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.

CFM: Cubic feet per minute.
SCFM: Standard cubic feet per min-
ute; a unit of measure of air delivery.
PSmG: Pounds per square inch gauge;
a unit of measure of pressure.
Code Certification: Products that
bear one or more of the following
marks: UL, CUL, ETL, CETL, have
been evaluated by OSHA certified
independent safety laboratories and
meet the applicable Standards for
Safety.
Cut-in Pressure: While the motor
is off, air tank pressure drops as you
continue to use your accessory. When
the tank pressure drops to a certain
low level the motor will restart auto-
matically. The low pressure at which
the motor automatically restarts is
called "cut-in" pressure.
Cut-Out Pressure: When an air com-
pressor is turned on and begins to
run, air pressure in the air tank begins
to build. It builds to a certain high
pressure before the motor automati-
cally shuts off, protecting your air tank
from pressure higher than its capacity.
The high pressure at which the motor
shuts off is called "cut-out" pressure.
Branch Circuit: Circuit carrying elec-
tricity from electrical panel to outlet.

This air compressor pump is capable
of running continuously. However,
to prolong the life of your air com-
pressor, it is recommended that a
50%-75% average duty cycle be
maintained; that is, the air compres-
sor pump should not run more than
30-45 minutes in any given hour.
